Thank you kindly! I was having no luck at all.
Does anyone know where to get peel-off lens covers for the 3M AS-400 respirator? Or covers made for other respirators or purposes that might fit well enough?
Is that a Crown Victoria?
Ok, thanks.
My daughter wants a wall-mounted curio cabinet to hold her ceramic figurines and I'm looking at ideas that won't stretch my flatwork skills too far. Can anyone tell me how the top and bottom of the...
To solve the noise problem I put my Gast pump in the next room (happens to be a shed I built off the back of the garage), connected by a ten or twelve foot run of 1/2" flexible plastic hose. Worked...
Last November I bought a vintage Delta 17" drill press. The seller grabbed it by the head and rock-walked it over to my pickup by himself. Placing a big piece of cardboard on the tailgate, he faced...
I have the Lee Valley router table. It's made of steel plate and is specifically engineered NOT to be flat--it has a slight bow to it so that the area where the work meets the bit is a little...
Oh well, better late than never. I haven't used the vari-grind since I got the Ellsworth.
After a lot of thought I come down on the side of building my own after I retire next year. I've read a number of articles and posts from people who have done it successfully, and it appears that...
All my bowls and cutting boards go to relatives and friends. I use mineral oil followed by a mineral oil and beeswax mixture a la Richard Raffan. I mention to wipe with a damp cloth to clean, and...
I plan to get the 3M one of these years. I notice a battery charger is not included in the price. Is there any reason a less expensive, good quality 3rd-party charger can't be substituted?
I use an automotive inline gas filter from the local auto parts store.
I've always ordered them at 161 inches for mine. This was the length listed in the Eagle Tools for a long time until they changed the site. You might give them a call, www.eagle-tools.com.
I hesitate to mention this since the only one I'm aware of who's done it is me, but you might want to think about attaching a strip of angle iron along the front edge. I have done this in cases...
I emailed Lee Valley recently with the same question and they replied, promptly I might add, that they are selling the latest model.
I read Lois Ventura's bandsaw box book a few years back, and in the Sources section in the back of the book she listed Woodcraft Bands, Inc. Next time I was looking for blades, instead of the usual...
Do you mean this one?

I don't have it but I have their router table system which uses the same inserts and method of holding the...
"..I wouldn't use it to set a jointer.."
OTOH, with due respect to Kermit I should say that I wouldn't use it because I have read I shouldn't use it, and because I have the straight edges to use. ...
I have the 3' Starrett and the 4' Lee Valley aluminum. Why? Because I the 4' Starrett was too expensive when I bought it, and LV wasn't yet selling theirs, so I ended up buying twice.
The LV,...
I use the LV on the front, too. Rarely need an end vise and then I manage with the little dohicky from LV that goes in a dog hole and screws tight against the work--ah yes, the Wonder Dog.
I recently decided to build a rotary phase converter just for the heck of it. Picked up a new 3hp 3-phase motor, capacitors, some relays, etc cheap from a local surplus house. First I built a...
When I went from a 2hp DC to a 3hp DC I added a 'definite purpose contactor' relay to the controller circuit. Instead of powering the DC motor the controller circuit activates the relay, which...
Big wheel up top, large resaw capacity--something's gotta give, and it ends up being the height of the table.
Not to hijack the thread, but if you were going to get an oil-less compressor would it be possible to put it in a sound proofed enclosure of some sort to reduce the noise to a reasonable level? I...
